Banks and Financial Institutions
Bogus email presents a massive security threat to online banking since it's directed not at the bank itself, but at the bank's customers. In the end, customer confidence can be destroyed.

Local Government
Local Government agencies are especially vulnerable to bogus emails. Bogus emails can be directed to specific departments (such as accounting) and appear to be from within the organization authorizing a refund, fee reduction, or entry into a secure area. If it appears to come from within the organization, the recipient will most likely believe it. The alternative - not believing any email - would severely restrict communication.
More information
